Top 10 Seahawks of all time

Ok, not trying to regurgitate this but just because someone wasn't "alive or old enough to remember" doesn't change history or erase it.

That 2013 LOB defense had 28 INTs with Richard Sherman leading with 8 and the team had 39 total turnovers.
The 1984 defense had 63 total takeaways/turnovers with 7 INT's returned for
TD's. League defensive MVP Kenny Easley led the team with 10 interceptions and Dave Brown had 8 INT's with the team totaling 38 INTs.
To recap.
84D 38 INT / LOB 28 INT.
84D 63 turnovers / LOB 39 turnovers.

We've been very lucky to have had the 84 Defense, the LOB and now the Dark side.
All I'm saying is when Kurt Russell did the intro for SB48 and said "These ballhawks from the Pacific Northwest", there was a glimmer of dominance with Tom Catlin's guys ripping it up.

I hope Mike's guys never stop working to improve and soon become the greatest defense the Seahawks have ever fielded.
Because in Seattle, we love our defense and we have the voice to prove it.

People who weren't alive for Brown or Green can be less inclined to rank players who weren't top 3 at their positions over players who were during their primes. Valuing longevity more than overall peak for a couple OGs is fine but expecting everyone to do the same is silly.

Yeah there's lots of silly going on these days, I just don't think you're using the word in the right context. I.e., it's only silly because you;
a) didn't personally experience it.
b) refuse to acknowledge it.
c) are lazy, selfish or happily ignorant.

All of which seems "silly."

But is this the definitive criteria for silliness?

No, the ultimate silliness is allowing yourself to be Sillyputty.

I'm feeling old as dirt, but I wasn't a fan in the 'old' days. So the old guard like Largent/Tez etc aren't even on my radar.

Here's my list:

John Schneider (And. I. Do. Not. Care.)
Bobby Wagner
Marshawn Lynch
Doug Baldwin
Kam Chancellor
Matt Hasselbeck
Shaun Alexander
Walter Jones
Mack Strong
Sam Darnold

And this is an entirely subjective exercise. So if you don't like my list - that's totally cool.

But mine is the best list

I disagree, but it's only my opinion. One side believes Russ was just about himself and wanted his name in lights and all the accolades, while the other side (me belonging here) believes that the guy just wanted to win and was at odds with the organization because he knew it was never going to get better while the stagnant coach was still here. The whole 'Let Russ Cook' was a byproduct of years with crappy Olines and a must to improvise to get positive results. The issues with it all was by that time, Russ regressed and the wheels werent there anymore and it didnt matter anyways as Carroll would go back to neutering the offense again as soon as a couple of turnovers would happen instead of letting him work through it.

I have and will never hold anything over Russ for wanting out of Seattle. Thr writing was on the wall and an ultimatum was the only way out. I dont blame him. I would have done the same.

I disagree, every team he's been on- He taken tons of sacks, no OL can protect a
QB who holds the ball too long and takes off because he can't navigate in the
pocket like a true QB can.
